"I still remember the day I picked out Mae’s first outfit like it was yesterday. I stood in her nursery, surrounded by tiny clothes, gently holding each piece up and imagining what she’d look like in them. I wanted something soft, simple, but full of meaning. I also remember washing her first outfit with so much care using Arau Baby’s plant-based lavender laundry soap, the only one I trusted to touch her brand-new skin. The soft scent filled her room, and for the first time, it all felt real. That little outfit is folded away again now, but it carries so much more than fabric it holds a memory of a mama waiting with a full heart for the greatest love she’d ever know. 🤍"
